Adidas 2

Adidas takes its name from its founder, Adolf Dassler. More commonly called ‘Adi’, ‘Adidas’ is an abbreviation of the 1920s shoemaker’s name: ‘Adi-Das[sler]’. However, many have speculated otherwise, suggesting that the brand settled on the name because it was an acronym for ‘All Day I Dream About Sport’ or ‘Soccer’.
